Oxazine compound, composition and cured product

ABSTRACT

The present invention provides an oxazine compound which contains a group having an aromatic ring structure and a plurality of specified carbon-carbon double bond structure so as to achieve an object. The present invention further provides a composition containing the oxazine compound of the present invention, a cured product containing the composition, and a laminate having the cured product layer. The present invention further still provides a composition for a heat-resistant material and a composition for an electronic material, which contain the composition containing the oxazine compound of the present invention so as to achieve an object.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an oxazine compound excellent in heat resistance, dielectric properties, and low hygroscopicity, a composition, a cured product, and a laminate each containing the oxazine compound. The present invention further relates to a heat-resistant material and a heat-resistant member, and an electronic material and an electronic member each containing the oxazine compound.

BACKGROUND ART

Various resins such as an epoxy resin, a cyanate ester resin, a bismaleimide-triazine resin, and a benzoxazine resin have been used as a resin material for an electronic component used for a semiconductor sealing material and an insulating layer for a multilayer printed board, and in recent years, in various applications, particularly in most-advanced electronic materials applications, materials and compositions which realize further improvement in performance such as heat resistance and dielectric properties and exhibit low moisture absorptivity have been required.

Among them, benzoxazine, which can be easily prepared by combining a phenol compound, an amine compound, and formaldehyde, undergoes ring-opening polymerization by heating by itself, and exhibits high heat resistance and low linear expansion due to a strong hydrogen bonding structure formed in a crosslinked structure. From this reason, nawadays, the benzoxazine is not only examined for the above-mentioned application of electric materials, but also attracts attention as a resin material for next generation devices typified by SiC power semiconductors.

As benzoxazine in the related art, benzoxazines prepared from a bifunctional phenol such as bisphenol F and bisphenol A and aniline are disclosed in PTL 1 and PTL 2. However, since an aniline-derived component is generated as a decomposed gas at the time of ring-opening of oxazine, the thermal decomposition resistance which is an index of long-term thermal durability has not reached a level required in recent years, and thus further improvement and performance improvement are strongly desired.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

<Oxazine Compound>

The oxazine compound of the present invention has the structure of General Formula (1) and further has at least two or more functional groups R¹ each independently represented by General Formula (2) or (3).

(In Formula (1), Ar¹ represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group, and a ring A represents a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic ring, and the compound of Formula (1) may have an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group.)

(In Formula (2), X¹, X², and Y² each independently represent a single bond or a divalent linking group, R², R³ and R⁴ each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon group, or a hydrocarbon group in which one or more hydrogen atoms contained in the hydrocarbon group are substituted with any one of a hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, and a halogen atom, and a¹ represents a bonding point to the oxazine compound (1).)

In Formula (1), a bonding moiety of the functional group R¹ is not particularly limited, and for example, two or more of them may be bonded to the oxazine ring moiety, two or more of them may be bonded to the ring A, or may be bonded to each of the oxazine ring and the ring A. In addition, it may be bonded to the aromatic group Ar¹ in Formula (1).

As a preferable structure, a structure in which the functional group R¹ is bonded to each of the aromatic group Ar¹ and the ring A in Formula (1) is preferable from the aspect of improving the heat resistance. Specifically, a structure represented by Formula (1-1) is exemplified.

(In Formula (1-1), R¹'s each independently represent a functional group represented by General Formula (2) or (3), and R⁸ and R⁹ each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group.)

In the oxazine compound represented by Formula (1), any arbitrary hydrogen atom present on any arbitrary carbon atom may be substituted. In the case of the hydrogen atom being substituted, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group are preferable. The moiety where the hydrogen atom may be substituted is not particularly limited.

<Functional Group R¹>

In the present invention, the functional group R¹ is a group having a carbon-carbon double bond structure, and is, specifically, a group represented by Formula (2) or (3). In the oxazine compound of the present invention, two curing reactions, a curing reaction derived from the ring opening polymerization of the oxazine ring and a curing reaction derived from the polymerization reaction of the carbon-carbon double bond, proceed, and thus a dense crosslinked structure is formed when cured, thereby improving the heat resistance, and particularly improving the thermal decomposition temperature and low thermal expansion coefficient. In particular, the oxazine compound of the present invention has two or more functional groups R¹, and this is because the cured product forms a more dense three-dimensional crosslinking by multifunctionalization, and the heat resistance is further improved.

The functional group R¹ is a group represented by Formula (2) or (3), and two or more thereof are present in Formula (1); however, the structure of the functional group may be different from or the same as each other.

Examples of the aromatic amino compound in which the reactive functional group is introduced to the molecular skeleton include 2-allyloxyaniline, 3-allyloxyaniline, 4-allyloxyaniline, 4′-allyloxybiphenyl-4-amine, 4′-allyloxybiphenyl-3-amine, 4′-allyloxybiphenyl-2-amine, 2-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 3-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 4-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 5-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 6-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 7-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 8-allyloxy-1-aminonaphthalene, 1-allyloxy-2-aminonaphthalene, 3-allyloxy-2-aminonaphthalene, 6-allyloxy-2-aminonaphthalene, and 7-allyloxy-2-aminonaphthalene. As to the reaction, for example, the phenol compound in which the reactive functional group is introduced to the molecular skeleton, and the aromatic amino compound in which the reactive functional group is introduced to the molecular skeleton react with formaldehyde under the temperature condition of 50° C. to 100° C., the aqueous layer and the organic layer are separated after completion of the reaction, and then an organic solvent is dried under reduced pressure from an organic layer, thereby obtaining an oxazine compound.

In addition, formaldehyde may be used in the form of either formalin which is in a solution state or paraformaldehyde which is in a solid state.

<Resin Composition>

The resin composition of the present invention contains the oxazine compound of the present invention.

The cured product obtained by curing the resin composition of the present invention is excellent in the thermal decomposition resistance, and excellent in the dielectric properties and the low hygroscopicity, and thus can be preferably used for a heat-resistant member and an electronic member.

<Reactive Compound>

The resin composition of the present invention may contain a compound to be blended therein besides the oxazine compound of the present invention.

For example, the resin composition may have a reactive compound other than the oxazine compound of the present invention. The reactive compound referred to here is a compound having a reactive group, which may be a monomer, an oligomer, or a polymer.

The reactive group may be a functional group which does not react with the oxazine compound of the present invention or a functional group which reacts with the oxazine compound, but in order to further improve the heat resistance, the functional group which reacts with the oxazine compound of the present invention is preferable.

Examples of the functional group which reacts with the oxazine compound of the present invention include a group containing an epoxy group, a cyanato group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a carbon-carbon double bond.

Examples of the compound having an epoxy group include an epoxy resin and a phenoxy resin.

Examples of the compound having a cyanato group include a cyanate ester resin.

Examples of the compound having a group having a carbon-carbon double bond include a maleimide compound and a vinyl compound.

The above-described reactive compound may have only one kind of reactive group, or plural kinds of reactive groups. Also, the number of the functional groups may be one or plural.

Preferable examples of the reactive compound include an epoxy resin, a phenoxy resin, a cyanate ester resin, a maleimide compound, a vinyl compound, and an oxazine compound other than the oxazine compound obtained by the present invention.

Among them, a compound having a maleimide group is particularly preferable. When the carbon-carbon double bond of the oxazine compound of the present invention reacts with the maleimide group, the crosslinking density is further improved, so that the heat resistance, particularly the glass transition temperature, is improved.

In addition, in order to obtain a uniform cured product by reacting the carbon-carbon double bond with the maleimide group, curing conditions at a high temperature for a long time are required, and thus a peroxide type catalyst is used in combination for accelerating the reaction in many cases.

However, even in a case where the oxazine compound of the present invention does not use a catalyst, the reaction with the maleimide group proceeds and a uniform cured product can be obtained. The use of a peroxide type catalyst has problems such as an increase in the viscosity of the composition, a decrease in pot life, and a reduction in physical properties due to a trace amount of peroxide remaining in the cured product; however, the oxazine compound of the present invention does not have to use a peroxide curing agent, and thus these problems can be solved.

The epoxy resin is not particularly limited as long as it has an epoxy group, and examples thereof include a bisphenol A type epoxy resin, a bisphenol F type epoxy resin, a bisphenol E type epoxy resin, a bisphenol S type epoxy resin, a bisphenol sulfide type epoxy resin, a phenylene ether type epoxy resin, a naphthylene ether type epoxy resin, a biphenyl type epoxy resin, a tetramethylbiphenyl type epoxy resin, a polyhydroxy naphthalene type epoxy resin, a phenol novolac type epoxy resin, a cresol novolac type epoxy resin, a triphenyl methane type epoxy resin, a tetraphenyl ethane type epoxy resin, a dicyclopentadiene-phenol addition reaction type epoxy resin, a phenol aralkyl type epoxy resin, a naphthol novolac type epoxy resin, a naphthol aralkyl type epoxy resin, a naphthol-phenol co-condensed novolac type epoxy resin, a naphthol-cresol co-condensed novolac type epoxy resin, a naphthylene ether type epoxy resin, an aromatic hydrocarbon formaldehyde resin modified phenolic resin type epoxy resin, a biphenyl modified novolac type epoxy resin, and an anthracene type epoxy resin. Each of these may be used alone, or two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination.

The phenoxy resin is a high molecular weight thermoplastic polyether resin based on diphenol and epihalohydrin such as epichlorohydrin, and the weight average molecular weight is preferably 20,000 to 100,000. Examples of the structure of the phenoxy resin include structures having one or more kinds selected from a bisphenol A skeleton, a bisphenol F skeleton, a bisphenol S skeleton, a bisphenol acetophenone skeleton, a novolac skeleton, a biphenyl skeleton, a fluorene skeleton, a dicyclopentadiene skeleton, a norbornene skeleton, a naphthalene skeleton, an anthracene skeleton, an adamantane skeleton, a terpene skeleton, and a trimethyl cyclohexane skeleton.

Examples of the cyanate ester resin include a bisphenol A type cyanate ester resin, a bisphenol F type cyanate ester resin, a bisphenol E type cyanate ester resin, a bisphenol S type cyanate ester resin, a bisphenol sulfide type cyanate ester resin, a phenylene ether type cyanate ester resin, a naphthylene ether type cyanate ester resin, a biphenyl type cyanate ester resin, a tetramethylbiphenyl type cyanate ester resin, a polyhydroxy naphthalene type cyanate ester resin, a phenol novolac type cyanate ester resin, a cresol novolac type cyanate ester resin, a triphenylmethane type cyanate ester resin, a tetraphenylethane type cyanate ester resin, a dicyclopentadiene-phenol addition reaction type cyanate ester resin, a phenol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin, a naphthol novolac type cyanate ester resin, a naphthol aralkyl type cyanate ester resin, a naphthol-phenol co-condensed novolac type cyanate ester resin, a naphthol-cresol co-condensed novolac type cyanate ester resin, an aromatic hydrocarbon formaldehyde resin-modified phenol resin type cyanate ester resin, a biphenyl modified novolac type cyanate ester resin, and an anthracene type cyanate ester resin. Each of these may be used alone, or two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination.

Among these cyanate ester resins, in particular, from the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product excellent in the heat resistance, a bisphenol A type cyanate ester resin, a bisphenol F type cyanate ester resin, a bisphenol E type cyanate ester resin, a polyhydroxy naphthalene type cyanate ester resin, a naphthylene ether type cyanate ester resin, and a novolac type cyanate ester resin are preferable, and from the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product excellent in dielectric properties, a dicyclopentadiene-phenol addition reaction type cyanate ester resin is preferable.

As the maleimide compound, for example, various compounds represented by any one of Structural Formulae (i) to (iii) can be exemplified.

(In the formula, R is an m-valent organic group, α and β are each a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, and s is an integer of 1 or more.)

(In the formula, R is any one of a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aryl group, an aralkyl group, a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, and an alkoxy group, s is an integer of 1 to 3, and t is an average of 0 to 10 on a repeating unit.)

Each of these compounds may be used alone, or two or more kinds thereof may be used in combination.

The compounding ratio of these maleimide compounds is not particularly limited; however, in order to obtain a resin cured product having high heat resistance, it is preferable that in the resin composition of the present invention, the ratio of the number of moles of an allyl group to the number of moles of a maleimide group is maleimide group (mol)/allyl group (mol)=1/2 to 3/2. When the ratio of maleimide group (mol)/allyl group (mol) is equal to or greater than 1/2, the heat resistance is excellent, and when the ratio is equal to or less lower than 3/2, the viscosity of the compounds to be blended is low and the processing suitability is excellent. A case of maleimide group (mol)/allyl group (mol)=4/5 to 6/5 is particularly preferable.

Examples of a method of obtaining a printed circuit board from the composition of the present invention include a method of laminating the above prepregs in a conventional manner, and appropriately laminating a copper foil, and heating and crimping the laminate at 170° C. to 300° C. under pressure of 1 to 10 MPa for 10 minutes to 3 hours.

4. Build-Up Substrate

As a method of obtaining a build-up substrate from the composition of the present invention, for example, the following steps can be exemplified. First, a step in which a circuit substrate on which a circuit is formed is coated with the composition appropriately containing a rubber, a filler, and the like blended therein by using a spray coating method, a curtain coating method, or the like, and then the coated circuit board is cured (step 1). Thereafter, a step in which a hole such as a predetermined through hole portion is drilled, if necessary, then a surface is treated with a roughening agent, the surface is subjected to hot water washing so as to form irregularities, and a plating treatment with metal such as copper is performed (step 2). A step in which such operations are sequentially repeated as desired, and the resin insulating layer and the conductor layers of the predetermined circuit pattern are alternately built up (step 3). Note that, the drilling of the through hole portion is performed after forming the outermost resin insulating layer. Further, in the build-up substrate of the present invention, a resin-coated copper foil obtained by semi-curing the resin composition on a copper foil is heated and pressed onto a circuit board on which a circuit is formed at 170° C. to 300° C., thereby enabling the formation of a build-up substrate while omitting a step of forming a roughened surface and a plating treatment.

5. Build-Up Film

As a method of obtaining a build-up film from the composition of the present invention, a method of producing a layer (X) of the composition formed by coating the surface of a support film (Y) as a base material with the composition and further drying the organic solvent by heating, hot air blowing or the like can be exemplified.

Examples of the organic solvent used here include ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone, acetate esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, and carbitol acetate, carbitols such as cellosolve and butyl carbitol, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, dimethyl formamide, dimethyl acetamide, and N-methyl pyrrolidone are preferably used, and, it is preferable to use it in a proportion that the nonvolatile content is 30% to 60% by mass.

The thickness of the layer (X) to be formed is generally equal to or larger than the thickness of the conductor layer. The thickness of the conductor layer of the circuit board is generally 5 to 70 μm, and thus the thickness of the resin composition layer is preferably 10 to 100 μm. The layer (X) of the composition in the present invention may be protected with a protective film described later. Protection with a protective film makes it possible to prevent adhesion of dust or scratches and the like to the surface of the resin composition layer.

Examples of the support film and the protective film include polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter, abbreviated as “PET” in some cases), polyester such as polyethylene naphthalate, polycarbonate, and polyimide, release paper, and metal foil such as copper foil and aluminum foil.

The thickness of the support film is not particularly limited, and is generally 10 to 150 μm, and is preferably 25 to 50 μm. The thickness of the protective film is preferably 1 to 40 μm.

The support film (Y) is peeled off after being laminated on a circuit board or after forming an insulating layer by heat curing. Since the support film (Y) is peeled off after the curable resin composition layer constituting the build-up film is cured by heating, adhesion of dust and the like in the curing step can be prevented. In the case of peeling after curing, the support film is generally subjected to the releasing treatment in advance.

A multilayer printed circuit board can be produced using the build-up film obtained as described above. For example, in the case where the layer (X) is protected with a protective film, after separating it therefrom, the layer (X) is laminated on one side or both sides of the circuit board, for example, by a vacuum lamination method, such that the layer (X) is in direct contact with the circuit board. The method of lamination may be batch type or continuous type with roll. If necessary, the build-up film and the circuit board may be heated (pre-heated) before laminating. As to the conditions of the lamination, a crimping temperature (lamination temperature) is preferably 70° C. to 140° C., a crimping pressure is preferably 1 to 11 kgf/cm2 (9.8×104 to 107.9×104 N/m2), and the lamination is preferably performed under reduced pressure such as air pressure of 20 mmHg (26.7 hPa) or less.

6. Conductive Paste

As a method of obtaining a conductive paste from the composition of the present invention, for example, a method of dispersing conductive particles in the composition can be exemplified. Depending on the kinds of conductive particles used, the conductive paste can be a circuit connection paste resin composition or an anisotropic conductive adhesive.
